A - Age: 38
B - Bed size: Too small for me, Bill, Mar, the dog and too many cats.
C - Chore you hate: Anything that involves scrubbing.
D - Dearest Friend(s): Bill, my mom, Laurena, Scott, Kelley, Tracee, Markel, Special K, ... I'm a lucky girl because I could go on and on.
E - Essential start your day item: For work days, it's a shower. For non work days, I prefer to let the day start without me.
F - Favorite actor(s): Good ones that don't squint too much. Unless, it's Clint Eastwood, then he can squint all he wants.
G - Gold or Silver: Platinum.
H - Height: 5'9" (at least that's what I tell everyone, but it's really like 5'8" and a quarter).
I - Instruments you play(ed): Guitar and the clarinet in the 5th grade.
J - Job title: Assistant to the publisher (but we don't have a publisher anymore and the title has very little to do with that I actually do).

L - Living arrangements: Uh, we live in our house that we like to pretend is ours.
M - Mom's name: Shirley
N - Nicknames: Rob, Robbo, Mama, Honey, Dillweed, Dumbass (oh wait, those are the nicknames I call myself).
O - Overnight hospital stay other than your birth: Margaret's birth and uh, that one time I was in the hospital while in grad school. The professor I was assisting that year had someone bring exams to my hospital room so I could grade them. Really.
P - Pet Peeve: Close talkers, people who don't share their candy, having to touch people that I don't know very well.
Q - Quotes you like: "That which does not kill you makes you stronger."
R - Right or left handed: I write and stuff with my right hand. But my left hand can do stuff, too. It's getting pretty good at playing the guitar.
S - Siblings: 1 older brother whom I have forgiven for all the mean things he did to me as a child.
T - Time you wake up: On work days, after the third snooze alarm goes. On non-work days, when I smell bacon.
U – Unfinished business: Losing the rest of this stupid weight.
V - Vegetable you dislike: Tomatoes, but only raw. If they're cooked and you can't see the seeds or interior tomato slime, they're just fine.
W - Ways you run late: Lately every day, mostly due to that late third snooze alarm.
X - X-rays you've had: Kidneys several times when I've had kidney stones (not really that much fun even with all the narcotics).

25 Random Things
I got double tagged to do this 25 Random Things meme on Facebook by both Cari and Marlys.
So here it goes:
1. I usually ignore most memes, chain letters, chain e-mails and the like unless I really like the person who sent it and/or I'm in the right mood.
2. I have a weird relationship with rules: I follow some with an obsessiveness and others I pretend don't apply to me (don't even think of changing the rules of Farkel or turning without using your blinker around me).
3. I started playing the guitar five years ago because everyone else in the family had musical instruments. I never intended to be in a band or write original music. I just wanted to learn to play Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi, so I could sing along.
4. I wear all black to work every day because I'm too lazy to figure out outfits that go together.
5. Two winters ago I had six black turtleneck sweaters that were exactly the same and I wore them every day to work for three months. It was awesome.
6. I love the scarf, purse and wallet I got for Christmas this year, but not as much as the Gibson Flying V Bill gave me.
7. The last New Years Eve show my band played, I screwed up the count down to midnight simply because I counted wrong ... outloud ... into the microphone.
8. I love to make fun of myself. But am trying to do it less, because it hurts my self-esteem.
9. I will pretty much do anything to make other people laugh. This gets me into trouble.
10. I didn't drink any alcohol for over four years.
11. I started again when my dad got sick.
12. I miss my dad so much, but I love having my mom with me. I feel selfish about that.
13. I wish my mom would live with us forever.
14. I've become obsessed with what my family eats and I bug them about it relentlessly.
15. If I wasn't me, I'd probably think I was annoying and talk about myself behind my back (especially when I'm hounding my family about food.)
16. I get crushes on things and people and will cyberstalk the object of my crush.
17. I'm obsessive about my skin and spend a lot of time and money trying to save it.
18. My life is very stressful right now and sometimes I just want to cry over it, but I don't.
19. Playing music with Laurena, Kelley and Scott is the best stress reliever there is.
20. I love my bandmates like they were family and hope we stay together forever.
21. Having my daughter was the one the two best decisions decisions I ever made.
22. Marrying Bill was the other.
23. I'm jealous of how kind and lovable Bill is.
24. I know that I don't deserve him.
25. I love my family more than I can ever show.
